The complainant, 32-year-old single mother Moreen Jango, says she was introduced to the opportunity by a long-time childhood friend who claimed to be working with an agent linked to official government-approved foreign job placements.
She explains that the process started in 2023 when she paid a registration fee of Ksh 63,000.
She was later instructed to cover additional costs for medical tests, documentation, and training.
The payments kept increasing until she had contributed a total of Ksh 10 million.
To raise the funds, Jango says she resorted to loans, used family property as security, and depleted her savings, convinced she would recover the money once she got the promised job abroad.
However, after making the final payment, she reports that the agent disappeared and all communication stopped without warning.
Shortly afterwards, she began receiving intimidating messages warning her to stay quiet or risk harm.
The ordeal has also brought back painful memories for her.
In 2022, she previously survived what she describes as a trafficking network in Thailand’s Golden Triangle area, where victims were allegedly forced into scam operations and other forms of exploitation.
The case was reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, resulting in the arrest of two suspects allegedly connected to the mobile money transactions used in the scheme.
They were later freed on a cash bail of Ksh 70,000.
Despite these arrests, the main suspects, including the friend who connected her to the deal, are still at large.
Investigators are said to be examining more than 300 pages of financial documents submitted to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions as part of the ongoing fraud inquiry.
Now without a job and facing mounting debt pressure, Jango is appealing for legal assistance and intervention.
She says she remains determined to repay her obligations but is urging the public to carefully confirm all foreign job opportunities before sending any money.
